There is a lot of mis-information around this, but it is actually quite straight forward. 

There is two main options here, Odoo Modules vs Odoo API. 

1. Odoo Modules -  are not supported / do not work on Odoo Online. 
2. Odoo API  - works for all.

Odoo API is just regular old APIs. This means you need to work with the APIs to get them to do what you want. So your options here are: 

1. Custom API Integration - Develop this / Pay a developer to integrate with the APIs. Or try a low-code tool (make, n8n, zapier). 
2. Use a WC Plugin: Pre-built plugins which installs on Woo and connects to Odoo APIs. 
3. Use a Saas: A software service which connects both systems via API. 

We develop a WooCommerce plugin which does integrates the system: https://odooflow.co

We've also released a fully open source version here: https://github.com/boringpluginsco/odooflow-for-woocommerce

And for completeness, Saas service here (not developed by us): woodoosync.com

but is it just my impression or is everything that revolves around Odoo extremely slow?

- I asked for a quote and after about 15 days I still don't know anything

- I asked for information from cybrosys on their form and after a thousand reminders I'm still stuck

- I asked for support on problems that other platforms have already solved, and I'm basically left at the source of the problem

_ I asked developers and I didn't get an answer.

Only one told me that if I don't have a big budget to spend it's better to give up

can someone explain it to me?

Hi,

Please go through the following module for integrating WooCommerce with Odoo.

Hope it helps

Not meant in an offending tone, but the fact that Odoo has no native WordPress connector should make either approach a challenge given 'no technical skills'.

So you may try your luck with a WordPress connector from the apps store (not mine, not suggesting any).

Extendibility of Odoo Online (Enterprise) is really limited, so if you don't want to deal with hosting yourself, you may consider a Custom Plan including odoo.sh (Enterprise).

Whether Odoo Community or Enterprise is to be chosen doesn't depend on connecting WordPress in my opioin, but on what else you want to do within Odoo.

Apart from that, without knowing your WordPress-specifics and your requirements towards Odoo point 2 to 5 can not be answered seriously and reliably. 

Hello Fonzies,
Okay, let's break down the best approach for connecting Odoo to WooCommerce, keeping in mind your lack of technical skills. I'll address each of your points:

1) Odoo 18 Enterprise Online vs. Odoo Community

• Odoo Enterprise Online (SaaS): Recommended for you. Since you have no technical skills, the Odoo Enterprise Online (Odoo SaaS) version is the better choice. Here's why:
  • Managed Hosting: Odoo handles all the server maintenance, updates, and security. You don't need to worry about any of the technical aspects of hosting.
  • Easier App Installation: Installing and configuring apps (including WooCommerce connectors) is generally simpler on Odoo Online.
  • Support: You get direct support from Odoo, which is invaluable when you're not technical.
  • Automatic Updates: Odoo Online is automatically updated to the latest versions, including security patches.
• Odoo Community: This is free, but it requires you to handle the hosting, installation, and maintenance yourself. This is not a good option for someone without technical skills.

2) Module vs. API Connection

• Module (Connector): Recommended for you. A pre-built Odoo module (also called a connector) is the best option for someone without technical skills. Here's why:
  • Simplified Setup: Modules are designed to be installed and configured through Odoo's user interface. You don't need to write any code.
  • Pre-built Functionality: Modules provide pre-built functionality for syncing data between Odoo and WooCommerce (products, orders, customers, etc.).
  • Easier Maintenance: The module developer is responsible for maintaining the module and fixing any bugs.
• API Connection: Connecting directly via the API requires programming skills (Python) to write the code that handles the data exchange between Odoo and WooCommerce. This is not a viable option for you.

3) Difficulties for Implementing a Module

• Finding a Good Module: The biggest difficulty is finding a reliable and well-supported Odoo-WooCommerce connector module.
• Configuration: You'll need to carefully configure the module to match your specific needs (e.g., which data to sync, how to handle taxes, etc.). The module's documentation should guide you through this process.
• Potential Conflicts: There's a small chance that the module might conflict with other Odoo apps you have installed.

4) Costs

• Odoo Enterprise Subscription: This is the main cost. The price depends on the number of users and the apps you need. Check the Odoo pricing page for the latest information.
• Module Cost: Some Odoo-WooCommerce connector modules are free, while others are paid. Paid modules often offer more features and better support.
• Implementation/Support Costs (Optional): If you need help installing and configuring the module, you might need to hire an Odoo consultant or partner.

5) Problems That Could Arise

• Data Synchronization Issues: The module might not perfectly synchronize all data between Odoo and WooCommerce. You'll need to monitor the synchronization process and resolve any errors.
• Module Compatibility: The module might not be compatible with the latest version of Odoo or WooCommerce. Make sure the module is actively maintained and supports your versions.
• Feature Limitations: The module might not support all the features you need. Carefully review the module's documentation before purchasing it.
• Performance Issues: If you have a large number of products or orders, the module might slow down your Odoo system.

Recommended Steps:

1. Choose Odoo Enterprise Online: Sign up for an Odoo Enterprise Online account.
2. Research Odoo-WooCommerce Connector Modules:
   • Odoo Apps Store: Start by searching the Odoo Apps Store for "WooCommerce connector".
   • Check Reviews and Ratings: Read the reviews and ratings carefully.
   • Look for Active Maintenance: Make sure the module is actively maintained and compatible with your Odoo version.
   • Consider Paid Modules: Don't automatically dismiss paid modules. They often offer better features and support.
3. Try a Free Trial (If Available): Some module developers offer free trials. Take advantage of these to test the module before purchasing it.
4. Install and Configure the Module: Follow the module's documentation to install and configure it.
5. Monitor Data Synchronization: Carefully monitor the data synchronization process and resolve any errors.
6. Consider Hiring an Odoo Partner (If Needed): If you're struggling to install or configure the module, consider hiring an Odoo partner for assistance.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Module:

• Data Synchronization: What data does the module synchronize (products, orders, customers, inventory, etc.)?
• Synchronization Frequency: How often does the module synchronize data (real-time, hourly, daily, etc.)?
• Error Handling: How does the module handle errors during synchronization?
• Support: What kind of support is offered by the module developer?
• Pricing: What is the cost of the module (one-time fee, subscription, etc.)?

By following these steps and carefully considering your options, you can successfully connect Odoo to WooCommerce, even without technical skills. Remember to prioritize ease of use, good support, and a reliable module.
